Rothesay Town Council will be hearing tonight from a group of residents in Oakville Acres who have been plagued with flooding when it rains heavily. Gary Howard of the Oakville Acres Citizen’s Committee tells CHSJ News the time for action has come even though fixing the problem won’t come cheap. The estimated price tag is 3 million dollars. The residents want to know if the town will still move ahead even if it doesn’t get funding help from the province or federal government. They’re also not happy with what they perceive as an unresponsive and uncooperative attitude on the part of town management. Howard warns if action isn’t taken immediately, the construction season will be missed and the homeowners will be vulnerable to the heavy rains that usually arrive in late summer.
